Rd6 GAME DAY THREAD: 2pm Parra v Titans @ Commbank 12/4/26

This team has been built over 7 years under the control of Jim and MON, adding another Ex Tiger has been a dreadful addition. Seriously, my family will not renew 4 season tickets if they are still at the club.

Today was the culmination of MONs tenure and the club should take action now, tonight. Matt Beach may not know a lot about footy, but surely he can see a disaster of epic proportions unfolding under his ultimate leadership.

Even the Dragons have a better roster than the Eels, but coached even more poorly. Go figure that.
It’s too late. The f**kers could not see it years ago. Complete management overhaul is required but needed to happen 5 years ago. The damage Mon and Sarntinos have done wit h their incompetence is irreparable

Be interesting to know if there’s an Eels fan out there who’s willing to give anyone at club benefit of doubt because of our injuries at moment?
No excuse and if the club trot that out they should thrown out of the joint tomorrow.

How about some effort and commitment for the jersey. I saw no desire whatsoever from anyone today.

Ryles has talked about playing for the badge and improving every day.

We are worse now then what we were this time last year with a more settled roster.

Our defence this year is 52,32,20,48,22,52

38 points per game and played 3 teams in the bottom 6. Its a bigger enough sample now that our systems are dreadful.

Our 2 wins have been patchy.

We lucked in the Dragons were more pathetic then us.

I’m still holding out hope for him, just. Management have let him down. But this can’t continue
His answers which are always Ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh has me worried.
When all his assistants are epic plodders who have zero pedigree that tells u everything.
No-one would sign any of these assistants and no-one would be lining up Ryles with his atrocious record...
Its a forlorn appointment.

The merkin is Beached as Bro!!

If MON still has a job tomorrow they whole club can just go.
I agree. But it would first have to be put forward as an agenda item, notify attendees, discussed, voted upon, ratified then adjourned to later date for further discussion.

Honestly I hope not. But he has to make some decisions now. Defensive coach immediately. As of tomorrow.

I attended today, first time I’d been at CommBank since pre-Covid. They looked off from the very start, absolutely zero intensity in anything they did early on, and it only got worse from there.

Whatever defensive systems are being taught and trained (if there are any at all) are simply not working. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a team get their middle defence torn apart as easily as Parra has the first six weeks of this season. It’s untenable, and suggests either the defensive coaching is bad or the system that is implemented simply cannot work with the current cattle. Either way, something has to change with it, and now.

We as the fans are the biggest f**king joke. People still pay their membership and listen to the uneducated mouth sewerage that podcasters try to tell you. No one challenges the club, she’s all good.

This is not good enough. Yet most fans on here will argue there is always next year.

Pathetic .
I'm not in the 'most fans' category, mate. I'm at that stage in life where I only think 'this year'.

He won't last mate, what is more sad is that the other idiots (The CEO and Recruitment team) will.

We where not that bad. We've bombed 2 or 3 tries and handed them 12 points with intercepts. Had not been intercepted we score. 24 point turnaround there. Add the 2 tries we blew and the scores like 38-32 to us.
Just mostly unlucky today and a few bad ref calls.
Plenty to like. BRING ON THE DOGS
Sorry, mate. I normally agree with a lot of your posts but did you zap yourself while wiring up a power outlet in your man cave?

I’ve noticed this season our distinct inability to win a tackle especially when defending. Today it was every tackle we were losing. I don’t think you can get fundamentals that wrong but mentally we may as well be out doing half arsed trade jobs. Don’t think even @hindy111 would take any of them as labourers

I wouldn't even have any of these merkins carrying my tools. High chance they'll drop and break them.

The obvious misalignment with the current idiots is that there is not one parra person involved.
The ceo dogs the GM tigers, 2 st.george idiots as coach and assistant....the plod goes on.
We need a Matt Cameron or dare I say it Shane Richardson.
We need a Peter O'Sullivan recruitment officer.
The joint stinks
